On the fourth day after the talent show.
Accompanied by his agent, Zhang Jun appeared in Thunderclap's general manager's office in Orlando.
Here, Zhang Jun signed a four-year rookie contract worth 24 million!
The NBA's first-round rookies had a clear salary according to their positions. Every year, the NBA would announce the salary of the rookie for the next year.
From the first pick to the top 30 in the first round, those who were selected could only sign a 2 1 1 contract according to the salary of the corresponding pick. The team had a team option in the third and fourth years.
Teams could sign contracts within the range of 80-120% of the standard salary, and players had to be given a contract as long as they were selected.
The Thunderclap had agreed to pay Zhang Jun 120% of the standard salary.
Although the starting salary of the top scorer was high, it was still low for Zhang Jun.
This was also the drawback of participating in the talent show. No matter how outstanding one's talent was, if one was selected, they had to strictly follow the rules.
Under these rules, Zhang Jun would rather not be selected. If he was not selected, he could sign with the highest salary. However, no NBA team would be so stupid as to not choose Zhang Jun and instead sign with the highest salary.
This kind of rookie contract was also to protect the team.
Before this rule, many strange things happened in the NBA.
For example, Chris Webb was selected by the Orlando Magic in 1993 as the top scorer and was immediately traded to the Warriors.
The Warriors thought that they had found a treasure. At that time, without the rookie salary cap, they signed a 15-year,$74 million contract with Webb.
This was not the strangest thing. In this contract, Webb actually had a player option in his second year. However, this sincerity did not move Webb. Webb went to the Washington Bullets in his second year, and the Warriors 'management team had no choice but to cry.
Also, in 1994, the Bucks got " Big Dog "
They thought the Bucks would get another Kareem Jabbar, but this arrogant top scorer gave the Bucks a big problem. Perhaps it was because they saw the billion-dollar contract signed by John Xun a few years ago, but the big dog actually wanted a billion-dollar contract. Otherwise, he would refuse to play for the team.
Back then, Jordan's annual salary was less than four million dollars.
In the end, the stalemate lasted until the season was about to start. The Bucks then gave Big Dog a 10-year,$68 million contract.
O'Neal was selected by the Orlando Magic in 1992 and immediately signed his first contract of his career, which was a seven-year,$41 million contract.
Just a year ago, the seven-year,$20 million contract that the Bulls signed with Pippen was already quite sensational, and this rookie was twice as much as Pi's second in charge.
In his first year, O'Neal's salary was 3 million, while the season's MVP, Barkley, was only 2.42 million.
The next year, O'Neal earned 3.9 million, while the season's MVP, Olajuwon, only earned 3.17 million. O'Neal's rookie salary had exceeded two MVP's in the first two years.
Because of what the previous super rookies had done, Zhang Jun and the other top scorers were at a disadvantage.
However, Zhang Jun was still very happy to become a multimillionaire in an instant.
Although he was a transmigrator himself, with the advantage of being a prophet, it was impossible for him to lack money in the future. However, he was indeed short of money now.
With a salary, Zhang Jun would be able to repay the 100,000 yuan that Schwartz had paid him for the past few months.
Although Zhang Jun's annual salary was nothing in the NBA, it was already very rich for ordinary people.
Zhang Jun's salary for the first year was 5 million USD, and he received about 3 million USD. Zhang Jun applied for 1 million USD from Prestige.
Prestige was very generous to a rookie like Zhang Jun.
The NBA's salary was usually paid on the 15th and the 1st. They could pay in advance, up to 80% of the guaranteed contract, as long as the boss agreed.
"Zhang, what plans do you have for the summer? Are you going to play in the summer league?”
"Go ahead. Treat it as training."
"Well, then I'll talk to Prestige. Be careful not to get injured. It doesn't matter if we don't win there.”
"I will be careful."
Zhang Jun did want to play more games against Xia United. After all, he had only played a few games since he transmigrated.
He still needed to get used to the feeling on the court. There would be victory points against Xia United. Although there would be very few victory points, it would still be more than the current stage of training.
After leaving Leiting's management office.
Then, Schwartz began to help Zhang Jun look for houses around Thunderclap Stadium.
Just as he had communicated with Schwartz before signing the contract, agents were actually the players 'nannies. Other than playing basketball, they could help with everything else.
Schwartz was working very hard right now. Zhang Jun was the top scorer as he wished. As long as Zhang Jun started playing, commercial endorsements would keep coming. He valued advertising commissions more.
Soon, Schwartz helped Zhang Jun find a luxury apartment of about 200 square meters.
This apartment was located in a wealthy district. It was mainly safe, comfortable, and had a beautiful environment.
With the help of Schwartz, Zhang Jun also bought a modified red BMW 745 worth 120,000 USD.
Zhang Jun had gotten his driver's license when he was still in university. To him, driving was just a basic skill.
...........
Ah Jun, I miss you!"
After Zhang Jun checked into the apartment and settled everything, Miyagawa Maya arrived outside the apartment in Hawaii.
As soon as he opened the door, Miyagawa Maya jumped onto Zhang Jun.
Zhang Jun held Miyagawa Maya with both hands and let her hang on him. Zhang Jun could enjoy her fullness.
Miyagawa Maya was still dressed in tight jeans and a shirt, looking very youthful and beautiful.
"I missed you too!"
"You're lying. Why don't you call me every day when you miss me?”
"I'm busy."
Zhang Jun treated Miyagawa Maya like a good friend. He would let her act as a cannon occasionally. He was a normal man, so he would have needs too.
"Hmph, all men are liars."
"Alright, alright, I'll show you around.”
"Hug me and watch." Miyagawa Maya said coquettishly.
Miyagawa Maya wasn't fat, and Zhang Jun's strength made it easy for him to carry her.
Zhang Jun held Maya with his left hand and helped her pull her luggage in with his right hand before closing the door.
"This is the balcony."
"The scenery is so beautiful."
"This is the living room."
"It's really big."
"This is the bathroom."
"This is the master bedroom."
Zhang Jun stopped when he reached the master bedroom.
Miyagawa Maya, who was in Zhang Jun's arms, did not say anything. She raised her head and closed her eyes.
Zhang Jun leaned over. Hugging exercise was another form of enjoyment.
